ON THE SUBJECT OF SPOONS.
Additional Particulars Concerning the
Operations of the Young Burglars

Journal man happened into the store of
Mr.. W. w. Wing, and during the conversa-
ton with him, he mentioned the fact that on
Saturday evening between seven and eight
O'Clock Mr.. Perciyai of the firm of Johnson
4 Percival came in and asked the price of
silver plated table spoons. Mr.. johnson
said that boy wanted to sell him one dozen
of Rogers triple plated spoons. Thinking
that the boy might be one of those arrested
for the Watervile burglary. the journal man
accompanied by Mr. Wing, called on Mr..
johnson and learned that there were two
boys, one claiming residence in Nassalboro.
The descriptions given of them are such as
to leave no doubt that the two boys were
Hyatt and Jenness. They tried to sell the
spoons to Mr. Horne the jeweler, before they
ton this afternoon the boys declared that the
spoons did not belong to the Wateryille mer-
chant, whose store they confessed to have
entered. They may be telling the truth
about the spoons for they had them it now
seems before they went to Nassalboro, Sat
urday night, as shown by the testimony of
Mr.. johnson. But by telling so much trnth
they have yet to account for the possession
of the spoons, and when that is done, another
cracking operation may be placed to their
accounts.
